I have read up on the ABA testing but don't people here generally under test? I usually don't see enough trials to be confident in the results. And unfortunately I don't have time to do 7 independent trials.

I have fairly consistent driving habits too. But as always, correlation does not equal causauation. But I do have an exciting correlation. Maybe someone else wants to try the mods similar to mine?

I can't spare the time to do ABA testing until maybe I do an underbody tray, but I stand by my results at the moment.
